Ok i'm heading for Brisneyland again . Planning on doing the full climb to Best of All lookout from Mudgeeraba on sunday (and then maybe returning around the northern end of Hinze Dam unless someone has another suggestion?) then on monday heading out to Esk to do a ~100mile loop up Esk-Hampton Rd ( http://www.strava.com/segments/615159 ) then back through Murphys Creek and Gatton. And then if i have any legs left at all on the way home i'll nip up to Kilcoy and have a crack at the climb up to Jimna ( http://www.strava.com/segments/3176603 ).

as long as the same rules apply in regards to pace, I'll be in again (if I have the brownie points)

That's the good thing about Gentlemans rides. Its about enjoying the ride rather than a smashfest. Well, you can still have a smashfest up the climbs but look how many times we stopped for photos and admired the scenery. Good thing we didn't end up in a ditch on the side of the road like that Hyundai did

Re BOA for Sunday this is the much easier option so gets my vote, if you want to hurt yourself do it reverse going up the Goat Track

Sorry should have been more specific, this sunday is the plan. I've just lined up a job interview on thursday though so if that goes well i might have to work anyway, fingers crossed.

Goat Track?

I thought that must have been it, i couldn't see any other roads going up there. The intention is to park at Firth Park at Mudgeeraba and start from there, i'm happy to just ride up to the top and back but smithstreet expressed an interest and he has a thing for adding more and more and more to every ride .

I haven't done the Panorama before but have heard about it's 'awesomeness', so it's about time I had a crack.Even if you guys don't want to do BB, I'll probably head that way anyway. Seems a shame to spend an hour in the car (each way), to not make it a 'fullish' day.*

* Disclaimer: Sounds like reasonable logic at the moment, but come Sunday, the plan could turn to poo.

I still don't know how the F@#$ did the hyundai end up down there?

Who knows what actually happened but there was minimal damage done to the front. More than likely they were distracted somehow... maybe a cow on the road and swerved to avoid hitting it up ended up off the road on some very soft and wet grass missing all the road side signage and slid nice and slowly into its current spot at the bottom of the ditch....

Yea that's the sort of thing i was expecting . I'm up for that one (again, assuming the job interview doesn't result in me starting work sometime over the weekend).

What is this "Panorama" of which you speak? Should i try and get the Velo Ecosse ready so i have triple cranks?
